QuizScience quiz questions with answers
Thirty science questions from the kitchen, the classroom and the lab: water and air, metals and gases, units and famous discoveries. The easy round suits primary classes; the tricky round is for older students.
Easy round
Ten easy questions to warm up. Most players should get seven or more.
- What is the chemical formula of water?
- Which gas do plants take in to make their food?
- At what temperature does water boil at sea level?
Medium round
Ten questions that need a little thought. A good round to split the teams.

Who this topic suits
The Science rounds are built on school science and everyday curiosity: why things fall, float, boil and rust. They suit students from about class 5 upward, science clubs, and family groups where the children like to beat the adults, which in this topic they often do. No round needs a calculator.
Hosting tips
Read the note under each answer aloud. In science, the reason is more interesting than the fact, and a one-line explanation turns a quiz into a small lesson. If a player gives a correct answer in different words, such as the common name where the question expects the scientific one, give the point. Teachers can use the Easy round as a five-minute warm-up at the start of a period and the Tricky round as a revision game before a test.
